Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, speaks at a party press conference. With a stunning sweep across local councils and a historic by-election victory , Nigel Farage ’s Reform UK party has done what many thought impossible: cracked Britain’s long-standing two-party dominance, and now it’s coming for Downing Street.Formed from the ashes of the Brexit Party , Reform UK claimed over 670 local council seats this week and snatched two mayoral posts, marking its strongest performance yet. Just months ago, Reform UK was still dogged by controversy, pulling support from candidates caught making racist remarks. “There are far more people who don’t like Nigel Farage than there are people who like him,” noted Professor Bale.But for now, Reform UK is celebrating — and strategizing. “Show our competence… and show the whole country we are serious.”From fringe to force, Farage’s insurgent army isn’t just making noise.
